Xiaoxi in the previous life, when I was in college, the school offered a massage course, so I learned two tricks. After all, there is an exam, so the technique is more professional.

In addition, she had some strength in her hands, so Old Man Chen felt that most of the exhaustion in his body was removed by the honey water, and the remaining half was also kneaded by the stream.

It was so comfortable that I fell asleep with my head dangling.

"Shh~" Xiaoxi let go of his hand, pointed at Old Man Chen, signaled Chen Yubin to fall asleep, got up slowly, and let him move lightly when he went to bed.

Because of the winter, the mosquito net was removed, and the two beds were side by side, so the brook did not get out of bed, and turned over directly from the bed.

At this time, Granny Chen hadn't slept yet, she hadn't taken off her clothes, and she was sitting at the head of the bed with the quilt in her arms.

"Why is it so fast?" she asked in surprise when she turned over her granddaughter and was about to undress her quilt.

Xiaoxi leaned over to Granny Chen, stretched out her index finger and put it in front of her mouth, "Shh~ Mother-in-law, be quiet, grandpa is asleep." Pull open the quilt and get in, "Mother, take off your clothes, I'll pinch it for you for a while, you're tired today." ”

"Hey...... That's right. "I heard that my granddaughter was going to pinch her shoulders to get rid of her fatigue, what was there to be unwilling.

quickly took off his coat, and the sweater was not taken off, after all, the upper body was exposed to the air, and it was too cold at this time, and the temperature was a little low, not to mention that it was a big night.

Because I have learned a little acupuncture points, plus some strength, "Mother-in-law, are you comfortable?"

"Ah~ comfortable...... Ah, yes, yes, that's it, a little harder...... Uh-huh, a little further down...... Alas~" Granny Chen lay comfortably on the bed. Although she was tired and stood all the time today, for her, she still had back pain!

I pinched the acupuncture points on the neck and back of the head, then the shoulders and arms, moved down, then the back, then down, and finally to the waist.

To say that the most tiring thing on this day is this waist pole, being pinched so gently by the stream, Granny Chen suddenly felt extremely comfortable, and her whole body was happy and comfortable.

Help pull up the quilt, "Okay, mother." ”

"Well, doll go to sleep, you're tired today. After being served and relieved, Granny Chen said to Xiaoxi with a pleasant face.

"Hmm. Getting up, smoothing the upturned corners of the quilt, Xiaoxi climbed to Granny Chen's feet, lifted the quilt, undressed and went to sleep.

The toe is the side of the foot that stretches out.

Seeing that they were all asleep, Chen Yubin propped up his arms, and the switch of the light bulb was held on the head of the bed where Old Man Chen slept. Leaning over, he reached over and turned off the light, and it was pitch black, and in a moment there was a sound of snoring and a few shallow breaths.

Sleep until dawn. When Xiaoxi woke up, she was alone in the house. Get dressed and get out of bed.

Passing by the big table outside the house, the big iron basin with the hawthorn cake on it was gone, so I guess it was cut, so I didn't take it to heart and entered the house.

Old Man Chen is not here, so it is estimated that he has added grass to the cow. Granny Chen sat in front of the stove and boiled the pot, and the pot was boiled "bang bang bang". Because he had just gotten up, Chen Yubin was sitting by the fire in a daze.

Brook sat down and pushed him before slowly combing his hair.

"Ahh Chen Yubin, who came back to his senses, said listlessly, "I also left you face wash water in the washbasin." ”

After combing her hair, Xiaoxi got up to wash her face.

They have a wooden shelf made of wooden strips, with triangular supports, and there are three layers, all of which are used to put pots. On the top stick, a wooden box with a palm and no lid was used to hold soap or soap, and a wooden strip was placed horizontally on the top for towels and the like. This thing is called a washstand, which is basically available in every household, and it used to be a necessary dowry for girls to get married.

The basin with the washing water is placed on the top layer to facilitate washing the face and washing hands, and a few idle basins are placed on the lower two layers, so that things are not placed randomly and are easy to find, and it also saves space.

After washing your face, go back to the fire and sit down. Now that someone is coming to accompany him, he is not so listless.

"Sister......" Chen Yubin mysteriously leaned to the side of the stream, carried the stove a little, took out a basin and handed it to her, "This is what grandpa cut when he got up in the morning, half of it was given to my mother-in-law, and the rest was given to me, telling me to wait for you to get up and then give it to you." Hey...... Strange delicious, I tasted it, sweet and sour, I also kept half of it. "I looked at her flatteringly, and I have put it away, and I will not return it.

This hawthorn cake has a rose-red color and a pleasant color, and it makes you want to drool when you look at it, not to mention the taste. Smooth, firmer than tofu, but more tender than tofu, non-sticky, and cold.

Xiaoxi smiled and tapped his forehead with his index finger, "You, you're a gourmet." Snort~" Reached out and took the basin and put it in the warehouse.

For the hawthorn cake, sweet and sour, very appetizing, Granny Chen got up in the morning and tasted a piece, I liked it very much. And Old Man Chen is not rare, they are sour and sweet, and they are so soft, after tasting a piece, he is not in the mood to eat it again, so he didn't keep a piece.

Xiaoxi does not do this to satisfy cravings, but to quench food and relieve greasyness.

So keep some for yourself, just enough for the New Year, anyway, if there is a surplus, they can eat it if they want to.

When Old Man Chen returned to the house, he served the meal.

One bowl of porridge per person, it is soy milk porridge. Instead of boiling with fresh soybean milk, the soybeans are dried in the sun, beaten into powder form by machine, and when cooking, a small half spoon is scooped up, and the soybean flour is mixed into soybean milk with cold or hot water, and poured into the pot. The cooked soybean milk porridge is a little less than the boiled soy milk in terms of texture and taste, but it is very convenient.

Now it's better, cooking porridge is generally soybean milk porridge, at most pumpkin, red lotus or corn kernels, and sauerkraut is not like before, mung beans and peanuts are put in the pot, the most unbearable thing is that the rice is boiled thinly, and then the noodles are broken into small pieces and put into the pot to make the porridge thicker, basically there are eight meals out of ten, and there are noodles cooked in it. These, Xiaoxi really can't accept.

A bowl of sauerkraut boiled cold noodles on the table, a bowl of food made yesterday, a little cold, put on the grille to get hot, but not as crisp as just out of the pot.

After eating, it was the turn of the creek to wash the dishes. Generally, she washes the dishes after these two meals during the day, and Granny Chen basically washes them at night.

I still have to continue to work today, but I am not as tired as yesterday.

After eating, sitting by the fire and resting for a while, everyone started to get busy again.

"Master, this knife is relatively thick, cut a piece of lean meat down, and fry it into a bare lean meat. Xiaoxi pointed to the three or four catties of fresh meat on the board and said.

A knife of meat is a piece of meat.

Remembering that his granddaughter doesn't eat fatty meat, she likes to eat lean meat, preferably the one that is all skinny, so she nodded, "That's okay." It just so happened that the meat of this knife was less fat and more thin, so Mr. Chen used a knife to pick up a lock of lean pork and cut the meat into slices about half a centimeter thick, which was too thick to be fried.

Sprinkle the sliced pork with salt, peppercorn noodles, soy sauce, chicken essence, chili sauce, beat in two eggs, grasp well with your hands, and marinate for a few minutes to absorb the flavor.

cut the bacon soaked last night into strips, put in the seasoning and marinate for more than ten minutes. Because bacon is made in the sun, it is a bit hard and chewier than fresh meat. But if the fresh meat is not good, it is cut into small strips, and the marinating time is longer than that of fresh meat.

Xiaoxi sat in front of the stove to boil the pot, and Old Man Chen poured the pot of oil that he had used yesterday on the board into the pot.

Because this basin of oil was only used yesterday, and there are few things to fry today, I didn't change the new oil.

In order to save space, they this, the board and the cupboard are placed together. There is an uncovered cupboard underneath, covered with a chopping board for chopping vegetables and storing spices.

The board is a thick solid wood board, two meters long, one meter two three wide, and seven or eight centimeters thick. The cupboard below is a small cabinet with a length of about one meter and a half, a width of one meter, and a height of seventy or eighty centimeters. Put leftovers in the cupboard or something, and don't be afraid of cats and dogs getting dirty.

Scoop in the flour and add water to make the flour into a fine slurry, without a single gnocchi.

Old Man Chen brought the prepared batter and marinated pork to the cutting board, and said to Granny Chen by the fire, "I've got it, you can fry it." ”

Granny Chen saw that the oil pot was slightly smoking, and reached out to probe the oil temperature, which was almost there. Fry the fresh meat first, and it's already flavorful.

Use the bamboo chopsticks in your hand to pick up a slice of marinated pork, put it in a batter basin, turn your wrist slightly, coat the meat slices in batter, put it in an oil pan, and continue to the next slice.

The meat slices float on the oil surface, with small bubbles bubbling around, turn them with bamboo chopsticks, fry the batter on both sides of the meat slices until golden brown, and use a colander to scoop up the basket and filter out the excess oil.

Because of Granny Chen's fried crispy meat, Old Man Chen saw that there was nothing wrong, so he took over the work of cooking the pot and asked Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin to play.

In the past two days, every family has been busy, and Zhao Juan and her family are also their grandfathers. Moreover, her grandfather would not get these things, so she helped her father prepare things at home, and she didn't have time to come to the creek to play.

At this time, the sun has not yet come out, and it is damp and cold outside, so the two of them have no desire to go out to play, so they sit by the fire and peel peanuts to eat and roast the fire.

"Oh, yes. Xiaoxi remembered something, got up and walked to Old Man Chen's side, and did not suppress her voice, Granny Chen could also hear it, "Master, isn't there pork ribs, let's chop some pork ribs and fry them into crispy meat, which is also delicious." ”

Hearing this, Granny Chen, who was staring at the pot, raised her head. "Okay, okay, the stewed pork ribs are delicious, and the fried pork should be even more delicious. When he got up from Xiaoxi and went to Old Man Chen, Chen Yubin leaned sideways and listened with his ears pricked up. For eating, of course, he is unconditionally supportive.

Granny Chen, who opened her mouth slightly on the side, but didn't have time to speak, closed her mouth curtly, glanced at Chen Yubin, then withdrew her gaze and continued to stare at the crispy meat in the oil pot.
